RESUMO

Two monoclonal antibodies against the p53 protein, PAb 122 and 200-47, were microinjected into mammalian cells as a probe to determine the role of the p53 protein in cell proliferation. PAb 122 recognizes the p53 proteins of mouse and human cells but not of hamster cells, whereas 200-47 recognizes the p53 proteins of mouse and hamster cells but not of human cells. The ability of these antibodies to inhibit serum-stimulated DNA synthesis of cells in culture correlates with their ability to recognize the species-specific antigenic determinants. More important, however, is the observation that microinjected PAb 122 inhibits the transition of Swiss 3T3 cells from G0 to S phase, but has no effect on the progression of these cells from mitosis to the S phase.
